icMRI 2017

ICMRI 2017 (Official Scientific Meeting of Korean Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine) was a big success. Total participant count was 1023, a record high and 20% increase from the last year. This is despite boycotts from several Chinese speakers at the last minute. The conference organizers did a good job in putting together a very respectable international conference. The English-speaking sessions were significantly increased from the last year. From SKKU-CNIR, Mr. Hwang Byung-jae won the best oral presentation award--Congratulations! Several new faces in the Korean MRI research community made their debut this year.
